Brooklyn Merl had himself a Sunday, y’all.
The 6’1” German assisted on the first and third Marquette men’s soccer goals of the day and for funsies, Merl scored MU’s second strike in their 3-0 victory over Purdue Fort Wayne. That moves the Golden Eagles to 2-0-0 on the year.
If we’re being honest about it, the first half left both sides with a “well, let’s see what we can do a little different in the second half” mindset. Shots were 5-2 favoring Marquette, so it’s not like the Golden Eagles were torching the PFW defense even if keeper Max Collingwood had to make three saves to keep the match scoreless at the break.
